Very well maintained, 2-owner Volvo 240.  Just over 60,000 original miles!
Near perfect condition. 

I bought this beautiful 240 from the estate of one of my client's family.  They were the original owner.  It was his mother's car and is the classic story of the 
car that was only driven to the country club and the grocery store for 25 years.  Otherwise it sat in the garage.  It has all original paperwork, owners manual, and maintenance records 
from the dealer. I have both original keys including the original key tag from the dealer. It also has paperwork for all repair work done by previous owner and by me.  
These include a new catalytic converter, new muffler and tailpipe, A/C recharge, professionally installed aftermarket stereo, 
door hinges and power window switches replaced.  Very clean.  Original rubber floor mats. Leather interior.  Hand crank sunroof works flawlessly with no leaks.  
Under the hood is spotless.  Everything is in perfect working order.  

I know the odometers on these cars are notorious for failure, but the miles on this car can be verified by looking through the maintenance records.  
 
There are some signs of wear, most of which can be seen in the photos. There are a few small cracks in the dash near the windshield , the arm rest cover cracked last winter, and 
the driver's seat shows some signs of wear, cosmetic only.  On the exterior there are a few nicks and dings, most along the passenger side where I assume
it was hit by the door if other car in their garage.  There are a few tiny spots with some surface rust.  The rubber trim on the bottom of the driver's door
is loose.  There are a few nicks in the rubber rear bumper.  These are all small issues that could easily be remedied.  

I am happy to answer any questions or send more pictures as needed.

Volvo debuts new Drive-E four-cylinder engines

Fri, 16 Aug 2013


Volvo is introducing a new engine family based on its new Drive-E philosophy, which encompasses "all innovations made to reduce the impact on the environment," the automaker says. Less cylinders allows for less environmental impact, so the new engines are all four-pots. They also were designed to pair easily with Volvo's upcoming hybrid drive system, which "will reach power figures in the V8 territory" and play a "dominant part of the top end of [Volvo's] range," says Derek Crabb, Vice President Powertrain Engineering. Volvo also says we can expect "power curves that give exciting drivability compared with engines with more cylinders."
Volvo says some versions of the engine were designed targeting best-in-class fuel economy. There are both gasoline and diesel options, but the latter of which isn't scheduled for US consumption. Instead, the US will be offered two states of tune of the gasoline Drive-E engine for front-wheel-drive vehicles. Some of Volvo's current all-wheel-drive powertrains will remain available in the US until the company has transitioned solely to the new, fuel-efficient inline-fours.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).

Aurora, Volvo partner on self-driving heavy trucks

Sun, Apr 4 2021

Global heavy truck manufacturers are lining up technology partners to help build out self-driving systems for long-haul freight that could see widespread commercial service well before self-driving robotaxis. The latest alliance was announced Tuesday between Sweden's Volvo Group and California-based Aurora Innovation, building on a working relationship that dates back several years, the partners said. Analysts expect more such partnerships, as relatively young technology firms such as Aurora connect their autonomous vehicle systems knowledge with the deep manufacturing experience of legacy companies such as Volvo Trucks. “You can't go at it alone in autonomy," said Grayson Brulte, president consultancy Brulte & Company. "The trucking industry is a completely different personality" than the passenger vehicle business, with different requirements. Most of the larger truck manufacturers have turned to self-driving tech partners, driven in part by a chronic shortage of drivers and a boom in e-commerce, fueled by the global pandemic. In January, Aurora announced a strategic partnership with U.S. truckmaker PACCAR, whose brands include Peterbilt and Kenworth. Aurora's founders include self-driving veterans from Tesla and Alphabet's Waymo. Aurora last year said its first commercial product would be in trucking "where the market is largest (and) the unit economics are best." In 2020, Waymo Chief Executive John Krafcik told Reuters that "goods delivery is a bigger market than moving people" as Waymo expanded its focus to include heavy trucks. Germany's Daimler has formed a self-driving truck alliance with Waymo, while China's largest heavy truck maker, FAW Jiefang, has partnered with Plus AI. Volkswagen's Traton truck group is an investor in TuSimple, as is U.S. truckmaker Navistar. In a January earnings call, Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk said the long-delayed Semi electric truck is highly likely to be the first of the company's vehicles to achieve full self-driving capability.
